New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Jean-Jacques Rousseau</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781537033822</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2016</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 110</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> This authoritative English translation of Rousseau's classic treatise of political theory is published complete with no abridgement. First released to the public in 1762 The Social Contract is a groundbreaking work in political philosophy. It was among the first to explore the conflict between a society devoted to a prospering and healthy community and the interests of commercial enterprise. The thoughtful analysis of society which at the time was on the cusp of beginning the industrial revolution and crucially Rousseau's rejection of the monarch's principle of the Divine Right led to the document becoming an inspiration for the French Revolution. Rousseau argued for personal freedoms and a community where every member has a say. He was vigorously against slavery and the subjugation of populations brought under the sway of a state. Instead Rousseau proposed a system whereby the state represents and serves the best interest of its population to the enrichment and betterment of the general society - it is this principle which encapsulates the philosophy espoused in The Social Contract. This edition contains the respected and influential English translation by G. D. H. Cole an Oxford scholar who specialised in political theory and was acclaimed throughout his decades long academic career.</p> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform hardcover

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Jean-Jacques Rousseau</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Arcturus</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781784287160</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2017</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 160</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> In The Social Contract Rousseau wrote one of the most influential studies ever made. It is as relevant today as when it was first published more than 250 years ago. Political society Rousseau argued required each individual to submit their personal desires to the ''general will''. At the same time there was no ''divine right'' of the monarchy to allow them to act as they pleased. Therefore there must be a social contract between governor and governed - the only truly legitimate form of government. Rousseau''s ideas influenced both the French and American Revolutions and created the foundations of the liberal democratic societies we live in today.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.</p> Arcturus hardcover
